Skydive Spain is a
successful skydiving centre. We are proud of all our
students as they pass through our courses and want
to give testimonials of their experiences with us.
We also have many
experienced jumpers coming over to visit. Some are
here for team training, some for holidays and some
want to take part in seasonal boogies.

Simon Brentford
organises several hoop dives.
"On the first jump
Wilf Huddart broke the hoop as the first one
through!. We still managed to have a great dive with
4 people making in through a slightly larger hoop.
On the second dive, some quick repairs were made and
this was much more successful."

Well done to Stewart
who did 18 points on a hard FS1 dive with Simon
Brentford, Simon Cathrine and Jo Burns. What made
the achievement so great was that he had only
previously done 3 formation skydives since his AFF,
the rest being solos. Great work! |
|
 |
More achievements also
followed with Nick Crick and Nick Turner both
getting their FF1 and 100 jumps in the same day. |
